Hello FamiLEE,

Hope everyone had a great Fall Break and ready to begin the second nine weeks. This nine weeks is very important, because it is the last nine weeks of the 1st semester classes. Please monitor your child's grades and help him/her stay on task.

Homecoming week is approaching quickly. We would love to see all the FamiLEE Alumni, student, and parents to come support. This will be an exciting week. The homecoming game will be Friday, October 27, 2023 at Milton Frank at 7:00p.m.

If you need to send in absence excuses, please email lee.attendance@hsv-k12.org.

I appreciate you all,

Kitrise Torain

LHS Principal
